trap column not showing up
list Joshua Krause
I am having an issue with getting the trap column to show up on a host. I have everything setup the way the documentation said to. And all of my log files are logging except for the trap.log, which looks to be generated when the hobbitlaunch.cfg is ran. Anyone have anything that might be able to help me? Thanks

I think i know why i may not be getting the trap column but needed some insight on fixing it. The trap is coming in with the hostname of: gsonc-spg-ups-1.eng.gbo.twcable.com But the hostname in the bb-hosts file is just: gsonc-spg-ups-1 How could i go about parsing out the " .eng.gbo.twcable.com " from the hostname coming across in the trap? Thanks Josh

Try the "CLIENT:hostname" tag in the bb-hosts file:
x.x.x.x gsonc-spg-ups-1 # CLIENT:gsonc-spg-ups-1.eng.gbo.twcable.com
I think that's supposed to take care of this situation.

Where do i need to tell hobbit/snmptt what traps i want to alarm out on? I am a little fuzzy on where i need to configure that stuff at. And is there a way to customize the message that is sent to hobbit. Say someone logs in and does a config change. Can I just have "Config Change" sent to hobbit? Thanks Josh **** trap column is there***

After you convert you MIBs using "snmpttconvertmib", you have to edit the various lines in the snmptt.conf.* files that start with "EVENT" and change the status from "Normal" to something more useful. For instance, by default, all of Cisco's traps have a status of "Normal". Here's a list of common event status settings and their corresponding Hobbit alert color: Normal - green INFORMATIONAL - green MINOR - yellow WARNING - yellow SEVERE - red MAJOR - red CRITICAL - red Example: The Cisco "linkDown" traps: EVENT linkDown .1.3.6.1.2.1.11.0.2 "Status Events" Normal EVENT linkDown .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.0.2 "Status Events" Normal If you want this to generate an alert, change "Normal" to "WARNING" (for yellow) or "CRITICAL" (for red) The Dell and APC traps are usually predefined with the various status settings. Hope that helps, Andy

I have my traps working now. But my question is where to set the time period of how long they stay a certain color?

The trap column will only display the last alert it receives. If a trap for a particular host hasn't been generated within Hobbit's "no response from client" window, the trap column will be set to "green". This is to keep the column from going "purple". If three traps for a given host are processed, it will only display the color of the last trap. If you are just using Hobbit, it will log any color changes. If you are using the SQL logging in SNMPTT, you'll have a history of SNMP traps. So if you receive these traps in sequence: green red green The trap column will update with the first "green" status. It will turn "red" and send an alert when it receives the second status. The trap column will turn back to green when it receives the last status. It's very possible that when you go to check on Hobbit after receiving an alert for the "red" status, that the column will have changed back to "green" assuming the last trap happened shortly after the second trap. There's no intelligence in the trap.pl client that checks the status of the previous alert or the type of previous alert (you can receive two different traps in sequence that are "red" or CRITICAL) to determine if it should update the status or not. You have to rely on the SQL logging if you want to see that since it logs every alert individually.
